The global energy transition and the ad- vent of clean mobility are unequivocal realities. This work addresses these themes pragmatically, examining the studies, challenges, and considerations inherent in the implementation of Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Stations (EVFCS). Pioneering EVFCS face multifaceted challenges, including: optimal siting, usability forecast- ing, technical configuration of individual stations, grid impact assessments, usage projections, and investment return analyses, among others. Based on a real-world case study conducted in Southern Brazil, this paper discusses the main factors and comprehensive studies developed for the deployment of EVFCS. Consequently, the principal contributions herein constitute an evalua- tion of the research, practical experiences, operational difficulties, and results obtained from a dedicated Re- search and Development (R&D) project.
